Treatment of the sulfur monocapped molybdenum trinuclear cluster (NH4)2[Mo3S13] with excess trimethylphosphine affords the sulfur bicapped molybdenum trinuclear cluster complex [Mo3(μ3-S)2(μ2-S)3(PMe3)6]. This compound crystallizes in the rhombohedral space group R3c with a = 11.112(1) Å, c = 53.507(10) Å, V = 5722(1) Å, Z = 6, R = 0.043, and Rw = 0.026. The Mo3 triangle is equilateral with the Mo-Mo distance 2.714(1) Å. Calculations by the DV-Xa method on this compound show that the structural difference from an isoelectronic cluster anion [Mo3S2Cl9]3− is caused by the reversal of the HOMO and LUMO. Calculated populations and a qualitative molecular orbital discussion reveal that this reversal is due to the p antibonding interaction between the metal atoms and bridging ligands. Construction of qualitative MOs clarifies the effect of the M-L p interaction on the MOs derived from metal t2g orbitals in the M3X5L6-type and M3X4L9-type clusters where metal atoms are in the octahedral coordination.
